\"Housing<\/p>\n

Back in March, as the nation’s economy was shut down because of the coronavirus, many were predicting the real estate market would face a major collapse. Some forecasts called for a 15-20% decline in transactions. However, six months later, it seems as though the housing market has fully recovered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark Fleming, Chief Economist<\/em> at First American<\/em>, announced<\/a> last week:<\/p>\n

\n

“Since hitting a low point during the initial stages of the pandemic, the only major industry to display immunity to the economic impacts of the coronavirus is the housing market. Housing has experienced a strong V-shaped recovery<\/strong> and is now exceeding pre-pandemic levels.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Economic & Strategic Research Group<\/em> at Fannie Mae<\/em> upgraded its forecast<\/a> for home sales last week:<\/p>\n

\n

“Housing data over the past month continued to show a strong V-shape rebound<\/strong>, helping drive the broader economy. Existing home sales jumped to a pace not seen since 2006…We have substantially upgraded our forecasts<\/strong> for both new and existing home sales. For 2020, total home sales are now expected to be 1.3% higher than in 2019<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The National Association of Realtors<\/em> (NAR) agrees. In their last Pending Sales Report<\/em><\/a>, NAR shared projections from Chief Economist<\/em> Lawrence Yun:<\/p>\n

\n

“Yun forecasts existing-home sales to ramp up to 5.8 million in the second half. That expected rebound would bring the full-year level of existing-home sales to 5.4 million, a 1.1% gain compared to 2019<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yun’s forecast<\/a> for 2021 was even more optimistic, stating, “Home sales will ramp up again next year, increasing between 8% – 12%.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The housing market has come roaring back and looks as though it may even surpass last year’s success.<\/p>\n

Frank Martell, President and CEO<\/em> of CoreLogic<\/em>, hit the nail on the head when he said<\/a>, “On an aggregated level, the housing economy remains rock solid despite the shock and awe of the pandemic.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
